Use like bases to solve the exponential equation for x.
\n" ); document.write( "256 · 4^(9x + 3) = 64
\n" ); document.write( "
\"256+%2A+4%5E%289x+%2B+3%29+=+64\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%5E4+%2A+4%5E%289x+%2B+3%29+=+4%5E3\" ------ Converting 256 and 64 to base 4
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%5E%284+%2B+9x+%2B+3%29+=+4%5E3\" ------ Applying \"a%5Eb+%2A+a%5Ec+=+a%5E%28b+%2B+c%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "4 + 9x + 3 = 3 ------- Bases are equal and so are the exponents
\n" ); document.write( "7 + 9x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "9x = - 4
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28x+=+-+4%2F9%29\" \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
